Seems that I am two quiet by far but I just noticed a snippet
on language and gaelic. My understanding was that many of the Argyllian
Sinclairs spoke Gaelic or 'Scots' depending on the generation and time
period. I suspected that many of the Caithness Sinclairs were speaking
Norse. But that left me wondering what language the Sinclairs spoke. We assume
that the "Bloodline" may have spoken several languages through the advantages of
education and my reading suggests that such notables as Henry would have Latin,
English, Norse and perhaps Swedish. But that leaves the matter of language
very open asnd the point well raised. In say 1800 how did the majority of
Sinclairs communicate? Scratching my head.... Neil Toronto/PEI/Argyll
